2.7.4 Floppy Disk Controller
The system board is equipped with a
shrouded floppy disk header that
supports two standard floppy disk
drives. To prevent improper floppy
cable installation, the shrouded floppy
disk header has a keying mechanism.
The 34-pin connector on the floppy
cable can be placed into the header
only if pin 1 of the connector is
aligned with pin 1 of the header. You
may enable or disable this function in
the Integrated Peripherals setup of the
Award BIOS.
Connecting the Floppy Disk Cable
1. Install the 34-pin header connector into the shrouded floppy disk
header (J4) on the system board. The colored edge of the ribbon
should be aligned with pin 1 of J4.
2. Install the other 34-pin header connector(s) into the disk drive(s).
Align the colored edge of the daisy chained ribbon cable with pin
1 of the drive edge connector(s). The end-most connector should
be attached to the drive you want to designate as Drive A.
